Announcing the Historical Fictions Research Network

The Historical Fictions Research Network aims to create a place for the discussion of all aspects of fictional historical narrative. We welcome people working on prose, drama, visual art, reception studies, musicology, museum displays, film, tv, gaming, wargaming, graphic novels, transformative works and any other areas engaged in the narrative construction of the fictional past.

We are in the early stages of setting this up. We will send out a call for papers at the end of May, for a conference on 20th-22nd February 2015, at Anglia Ruskin Conference.

By the end of July we will have a conference web page, and we intend to have a call for papers for the new journal, the Journal of Historical Fiction, at the beginning of 2015.
